EVENT | ALL HALLOWED

Characters: Everyone!
Date: Oct 27th - Nov 2nd
Location: The City of Keeliai
Situation: The kedan have decided to participate in an Earth tradition: Hallowe'en! But there are other mysterious things afoot this holiday and when people start disappearing they'll have to find a way to reverse the effect... though all of their selves might not make it back.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

As the weather turns crisper, the nights and mornings carry with them a hint of chill promising cooler days to come, the month starts drawing to a close. This is a pleasant time, soon to be the season of harvest even on such a nomad as Tu Vishan. Yet the relations with the kedan have been good lately and even the Emperor's latest warning has not dampened the resilience of her people (both willing citizens and not) and so today marks a new tradition to Keeliai and it starts with receiving a simple, handwritten invitation.

"Come and celebrate the Keeliai of ages past..."



OOC: See the OOC plotting post for event details and this post for assorted subheaders outlining various parts of the plot. Feel free to start your own thread header if none suit, or make your own logs for various threadings... this is just for a central post for the event. Any questions can be directed HERE. Thank you!

NOTE: NPC tagging will be mostly in the Palace Rewards and Touch of Memory threads unless specifically requested elsewhere! Normal rules for players writing NPC interactions remains the same as always.

MID PLOT UPDATE!
Through the course of investigations will be discovered that every Foreigner who went trick or treating has acquired themselves at least one pot of what appears to be iridescent paint, sometimes more than one. Experimenting with these pots (because lbr who doesn't want a few randomly shimmery possessions) oddly enough lets ghosted characters interact with them completely solidly. Which, if you've inadvertently been ignoring someone, might mean you get your new shiny lamp thrown at your head.

Now if people get the smart idea to the paint the paint, that would let ghosted characters get hold of this stuff themselves...

TL;DR - Ghosted characters can paint themselves back into phase. Eating the stuff is also acceptable.

Oh, it is a holiday they celebrate in England, about a man who tried to blow up the government, and failed, and on the fifth of November they burn straw figures of him, and sometimes there are fireworks.

[It is not something he pretends to understand, but the fireworks are very pretty: he will never complain about a good fireworks show.

Oh, oh no, it is not rude at all, please pet him, pet the dragon. Temeraire leans forward a little, nudging at Ellie's hand.]


I have never seen a pirate before, though it sounds as if it would be very exciting to meet one. Do they have a very special sort of hat?

[WELL, she doesn't need encouragement twice! She starts to pet his skin, marveling at him for a moment. So much so, that she gets distracted from her original suggestion-- but it's a short lived distraction. She wasn't that unable to focus on more than one thing at a time]

Woah, this is so fucking cool...

And I don't know. Why don't you find any hat that fits and call it a pirate hat?

[He's just going to lie here and shut his eyes. Petting is good. He doesn't get enough of it here.]

Do you think that might work? I should not want anyone to think I was not a proper pirate, after all.

Well, I dunno about you, but I sure as hell would be willing to vouch for how damn authentic your costume is. And who would say no to our faces combined?

[she grins as she continues petting. She's absolutely fascinated with it, though she's more wondering where they would find a hat big enough to fit him, even if it wasn't a pirate hat]
dracobin: (smug)

Why, you make a very good point. [Pettinggggg.]

Well, she is not a pirate, but Admiral Roland--she is in charge of the Aerial Corps, at home--has a sort of bicorne, with a great feather in it: I should certainly not be averse to one of those, if we might get our hands on one, somehow.
